Do you have AVID's Mission hanging on your classroom walls, in the school library, in the staff room and in student portfolios? How about the definition of rigor?
AVID's mission is to ensure that ALL students, and most especially the least
served students who are in the middle:
1. Will succeed in rigorous curriculum.
2. Will complete a college preparatory path.
3. Will enter mainstream activities of the school
4. Will increase their enrollment in four-year colleges.
5. Will become educated and responsible participants and leaders in a
democratic society.
Academic rigor means an understanding of content that is complex, ambiguous, and personally and emotionally challenging.
